This 10-pack of Darlly-branded 1 micron meltblown polypropylene sediment cartridges is made for standard 20-inch Big Blue filter housings. The cartridges reduce suspended particles such as sand, silt, rust flakes and other visible debris, helping to protect downstream filtration and water-treatment equipment.
This 1 micron model is best suited to: fine sediment polishing where very small suspended particles need to be reduced; use coarser prefiltration where the incoming water carries a heavy sediment load.
Key Features
- Meltblown polypropylene depth-filtration media
- Reduces suspended sediment without adding taste or odour to the water
- Helps protect carbon filters, softeners, reverse-osmosis systems, pumps and UV systems from particulate loading
- Disposable cartridge design for straightforward maintenance
- Pack quantity: 10 cartridges
Darlly Construction
- Polypropylene fibres are thermally fused without chemical glues
- Graded-density depth structure traps particles through the cartridge rather than only on the surface
- Designed for good dirt-holding capacity with a low initial pressure drop
- Suitable for sediment prefiltration in domestic, commercial and process-water applications

Understanding Micron Ratings
- A smaller micron number provides finer particle filtration but may block sooner where sediment levels are high
- 0.5–1 micron: fine sediment polishing, normally after coarser prefiltration
- 5 micron: a popular general-purpose choice for domestic sediment filtration
- 10–20 micron: medium prefiltration that balances particle removal and flow
- 50–100 micron: coarse prefiltration for larger suspended particles and heavier sediment loads
- Micron rating describes particle filtration; it does not indicate removal of dissolved substances
Common Uses
- Domestic point-of-use and whole-house sediment filtration
- Borehole, wellpoint and rainwater prefiltration where suspended sediment is present
- Prefiltration before carbon, softening, reverse osmosis or ultraviolet treatment
- Reducing visible sand, silt, rust flakes and particulate matter
Installation and Replacement
- Confirm the housing length and diameter before ordering; Slimline and Big Blue cartridges are not interchangeable
- Shut off the water supply and depressurise the housing before opening it
- Replace the cartridge when flow reduces, differential pressure rises or sediment begins to pass through
- Replacement frequency depends on water quality, water consumption and the sediment load
Important Information
- This cartridge filters suspended particles only
- It does not remove dissolved salts or TDS, and it does not disinfect microbiologically unsafe water
- Use appropriate additional treatment where chemical or microbiological contamination is present
